Dead Dove: Do Not Eat 

A phrase meaning "read at your own risk," originating from the TV show Arrested Development. A man takes a paper bag out of the fridge that has a note saying "dead dove, do not eat," which he opens to discover a dead dove and exclaims "I don't know what I expected."
The tag is popular in fanfiction because it allows the author to warn the reader that they're probably not going to like what's inside, and now the guilt is out of their hands.
